A one-of-its-kind virus attenuation device called Shycocan, developed by well-known Indian scientist and inventor Dr. Rajah Vijay Kumar, claims to help in curbing the spread of coronavirus in indoor spaces.
According to the company, the cylindrical device Shycocan (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) has been found to be effective in securing indoor spaces from the spread of not only the COVID-19 but other viruses which cause diseases like pneumonia, ARDS, SARS, MERS, and other coronavirus-induced diseases. In addition, the device can also help to curb the Influenza family of viruses that trigger annual seasonal flu and epidemics such as Swine Flu and Bird Flu.
According to the release sent by the company, Dr. Rajah Vijay Kumar, Inventor of Shycocan and the Global Chairman of Organisation De Scalene, developed a specialized device made of a super-alloy after a decade of research. Shycocan works by neutralizing its positive charge and disabling the ability of the Coronavirus particles to attach themselves to a host cell.
Dr. Rajah Vijay Kumar, at the launch of this device, said, “Coronavirus-type outbreaks are occurring with faster intermittent frequencies. The Coronavirus family has got more infectious and deadly with successive mutations in the last 17 years, underscoring the importance of a device like Shycocan. The biggest challenge of this virus is its infectivity or virulence. Breaking the chain of infectivity requires focused work on indoor environments because they carry the highest risk of transmission.”
He added, “When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the device was sent for testing and regulatory compliances to global laboratories and found to be equally effective. It was overwhelming to realize that we had already created the world's first technology to fight the pandemic long before imagining the possibility of such a crisis taking the entire world in its grip.”
In the presence of Shycocan, anyone touching a previously infected surface will not contract the virus as it would have been attenuated. The super-alloy that generates photons does not deteriorate, due to which Shycocan has a long lifespan and requires minimal servicing and no consumables. However, they also claim that the infected person cannot be cured by this device.
Alok Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, Shycocan Corporation, said, “Shycocan has been proven to disable the Coronavirus and Influenza virus families in indoor spaces with 99.994 per cent efficacy, as per various virology reports from accredited laboratories worldwide. There is no adverse impact on humans.”
Shycocan claims to be an effective and safe device that has been thoroughly tested. It neither uses nor emits radiation, chemicals, ozone or any material that harms humans or the environment. Multiple devices can be installed to cover a larger indoor space.
It claims that the device has been enabling schools, colleges, homes and businesses like hospitals, hotels, offices, restaurants, auditoriums, transportation, retail, and airports get back on track and serve their internal and external customers in a safe environment.
